Fun Facts
Sushi and tea aficionado, lover of the didactic process, and scientific journeyman. I have lived in South Carolina, NoCar, Scotland, Washington, and Oregon and hope to see much more! Six Californias is a thing.
About Me
I am a research professional in cancer biology at OHSU in Portland, OR. As a former pre-medical college student, my undergraduate educational experience was heavy in biology, chemistry, and teaching others in these courses. Ultimately I chose to pursue an M.S. in Organic and Analytical Chemistry at the washington">University of Washington, where I enjoyed plenteous teaching experience in one of the USA's largest undergraduate chemistry departments.
Experience
I've taught copious numbers of students in the STEM fields. In college, I earned my first formal teaching positions as supplemental instructor and laboratory assistant in the Department of Chemistry. Graduate school afforded me the opportunity to teach chemistry to many hundreds of students. When possible, I've volunteered my time to organizations like Literacy Source and 826 washington/seattle">Seattle. After graduation, I was happy to remain at UW as a Teaching Associate.
Approach
As a person who learns very little through the spoken word alone, I truly understand the differences between various modes of teaching and learning. Words fail for many of us, but diagrams can miraculously clarify both subject and grey matter. If neither will suffice, well-chosen examples and apt comparison could be the best solution. It's definitely my job to ascertain the best approach for each student! Why not try all three of these, and more? The most important thing is to keep trying...
